Chapter 88: First Kiss With Eve(R-18)
Adrian leaned back in his chair, watching as Eve and Sophia settled down across from him. The soft lighting in the room created a warm and intimate atmosphere, helping to ease the tension that had been present just moments ago.
The three of them had come a long way, each bearing their own burdens, but now they were together, and the weight of the past was slowly beginning to lift.
Sophia, always the one to break the silence with grace, took the lead. "Eve, how are you feeling now that you're free from Mortimer's control? It must be a huge relief."
Eve nodded slowly, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her dress as if she were still trying to ground herself in this newfound reality. Her eyes flickered between Adrian and Sophia, as if searching for reassurance.
"It's… it's strange," Eve admitted, her voice soft and hesitant. "I still can't believe it's real. For so long, I thought I'd never escape him, that my life would always be controlled by someone else. But now… I'm free, thanks to you both."
Adrian smiled softly, leaning forward slightly as if to close the distance between them.
"You deserve to be free, Eve. Mortimer had no right to control you, and now that you're free, you can start living your life the way you want."
Eve glanced up at him, her expression a mix of gratitude and uncertainty. The reality of freedom was almost too overwhelming to grasp.
"But I don't know where to start. I've spent so long just surviving that I don't even know what it means to truly live."
Sophia, ever the compassionate soul, leaned forward as well, her voice gentle and understanding. "That's understandable, Eve. It's a big change, and it's okay to take your time figuring things out. You don't have to have all the answers right away. Besides, we're here for you anyway."
Adrian nodded in agreement, his gaze never leaving Eve's.
"Exactly. You've been through a lot, and it's okay to take things slow. You have all the time in the world now, and we're here to help you every step of the way."
Eve's eyes softened, and she let out a small sigh of relief. The weight of her past was still there, but it felt a little lighter now.
"Thank you. Both of you. I don't know what I would do without you."
Adrian reached across the table and gently took her hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "You're not alone anymore, Eve. You have us, and we'll make sure you never have to face anything alone again."
The sincerity in his voice seemed to resonate with her, and Eve's grip on his hand tightened slightly as she gave him a grateful smile. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes.
Sophia, sensing that the mood needed a bit of lightening, decided to steer the conversation in a new direction.
"Now that we're all here, how about we make some plans for the future? What's something you've always wanted to do, Eve? Something you never thought you'd get the chance to?"
Eve blinked, taken aback by the question. It had been so long since she had thought about her own desires, her own dreams.
She hesitated for a moment, then a shy smile crept onto her lips. "I… I've always wanted to be an adventurer like my grandpa. My mother used to tell me stories about him when I was little. He traveled the world, fought monsters, and discovered mystical landscapes."
Adrian's eyes lit up with excitement. "That sounds like a great idea. We will join you and then we can go anywhere you want, see new places, experience new things, and fight new monsters. It's decided—we'll register as adventurers after I kick Mortimer's ass."
Sophia nodded enthusiastically, her own excitement mirroring Adrian's. "And we'll make sure to create the best memories along the way. Just think of all the amazing places we'll see and the adventures we'll have."
Eve's smile grew, her eyes shining with excitement at the prospect of a future filled with possibilities.
"That… that sounds wonderful. I've always dreamed of exploring the world, but I never thought it would actually happen."
As the conversation continued, the three of them began to share ideas for future adventures, their laughter filling the room.
The heaviness that had once surrounded Eve seemed to dissipate, replaced by a growing sense of hope and anticipation.
For the first time in a long while, she felt a glimmer of happiness, and it was all thanks to the people who had stood by her side.
Eventually, as the time passed and the conversation began to wind down, the mood in the room started to shift once again.
The laughter faded into comfortable silence, and a different kind of tension began to build—one that was charged with anticipation and desire.
Sophia, being perceptive as ever, noticed the shift and decided to take the lead. She gestured towards Eve, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she reminded her of why they had come here in the first place.
With a graceful movement, Sophia stood up from her seat and made her way over to Adrian.
She grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him to his feet with a playful tug. Her face was close to his, their lips mere inches apart as she looked up at him with smoldering eyes.
Without a word, Sophia leaned in and captured his lips in a wild, passionate kiss. The intensity of it took Adrian by surprise, but he quickly responded, his hands finding their way to her waist as he pulled her closer. Their bodies pressed together, and their tongues danced in a heated battle for control.
Eve watched them for a moment, her heart racing as she observed the raw intensity between them. She had never seen anything like this before—such unfiltered passion and desire. It made her pulse quicken, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body.
Sophia, sensing Eve's hesitation, broke the kiss and turned to her with a playful smile. "Come here, Eve," she beckoned softly, her voice dripping with seduction. "We came here for a reason, remember?"
Eve hesitated only for a moment before nodding, stepping closer to them. Her nerves were still present, but the warmth and acceptance she felt from both Adrian and Sophia gave her the courage to take the plunge.
Sophia reached out and gently took Eve's hand, pulling her into their embrace. Adrian turned to face her, his eyes filled with a mix of desire and tenderness.
He cupped her cheek with one hand, brushing his thumb across her skin in a soothing gesture.
"It's okay, Eve," Adrian whispered, his voice low and comforting. "You're safe here with us. Just let go and enjoy the moment."
Sophia nodded in agreement, her fingers tracing gentle patterns along Eve's arm. "You don't have to be afraid," she added softly. "We're here together, and we'll take it slow."
Eve's breath hitched, but this time it wasn't out of fear—it was anticipation. She could feel the warmth of their bodies, the heat radiating off of them, and it ignited something deep within her.
She had spent so long feeling cold, isolated, and trapped. But now, in this moment, she felt alive. More alive than she had in years.
Adrian leaned in, his lips brushing against Eve's in a soft, tender kiss. It was gentle at first, almost hesitant, as if he was giving her time to adjust. But as Eve responded, pressing her lips more firmly against his, the kiss deepened.
Her hands found their way to his shoulders, gripping him as she let herself be swept up in the sensation.
